Home and Away star Lukas Radovich marries partner in lavish Sydney wedding
The Australian actor, who played Ryder Jackson on the Seven soap from 2017 until 2022, shared a sweet video of his first dance with now-husband, professional netballer Liam Forcadilla.
The happy couple married on Friday in a grand celebration at the Grounds of Alexandria, which was attended by fellow stars on the long-running soap, including Emily Weir, Shane Withington, Courtney Miller and Sophie Dillman.
Taking to Instagram, Radovich and Forcadilla shared a clip of themselves dancing to Taylor Swift's Lover, as silver confetti dropped from the ceiling while they shared a kiss.
Attendees could be heard cheering as the pair slow danced on the dance floor.
'You can hear the love in the room,' Forcadilla wrote alongside the video.
Radovich, 30, became engaged to Forcadilla, who plays for the Australian men's netball team, in February last year.
The duo met on Tinder and began dating in 2020.
After departing Home and Away, Radovich opened up to the The Daily Telegraph about his sexuality for the first time.
He said he came out to his parents just prior to accepting a role on the hit TV show.
'The reason I wasn't publicly talking about it when I was on the show was because I was still coming to terms with my sexuality,' Radovich said in the 2023 interview.
'If I had have been on the show now, it might have been a different story. I definitely think when I was in my young 20s, I was still discovering myself and that now I feel comfortable enough to be able to talk about it.
'The last five years has been quite a big journey for me, one, because of the show but also too coming into my own sense of self, just being comfortable I guess.
'I can't even remember what point I started telling people but it was definitely before the show. Coming into that world, I am quite a shy person by nature, quite introverted, so it takes a while for me to warm up to talking about things. And then after that it just wasn't an issue.'

23yo from Melbourne taste test Macca's around the world
A 23-year-old nutritionist from Melbourne is debunking the idea that you can't enjoy food on holiday by taste-testing Macca's in different countries in Europe. Sasha Tyres, recently visited England, France, Italy, Austria and Germany on her first trip to Europe. During the three-week trip it was Ms Tyre's mission to try different snacks — and McDonald's menu items you can't get in Australia — while she was abroad. She documented her journey, filming videos as she tried cheese and bacon loaded fries and Royale Deluxe burger in France, sour cream sauce and a white chocolate and raspberry pie in Germany, berries and cream dip and a sweet curry beef burger in Austria and Baci McFlurry and provolone McChicken in Italy. 'I'm excited to try this,' she said before sinking her teeth into the burger. 'It's like a parma at the pub, but in a burger. It's so good. It's unlike anything I've ever tried at Macca's before.' Ms Tyres said one of the things she was excited to try was cheese fries in France, saying she loved them so much. But, it was Austrian McDonald's that really won her over. 'They had a sweet curry burger, and it was insane. It was so good,' she said. 'They also had a wasabi range, which I didn't get to film. It was incredible. We need that in Australia ASAP.' Ms Tyres also enjoyed the fact that there was a lot of vegetarian and vegan options, such as plant based nuggets, as it allowed people to still enjoy their old favourites but in a new way. One of the more odd things she discovered was just a block of parmesan sold at Macca's in Italy. A lot of Europeans gave Ms Tyres positive feedback, helping educate her if she had a detail wrong, such as when she said Kinder was from Germany. People were kind and quick when correcting her. She also added it was so important to do your research when talking about a country's food or snack culture, revealing she had a misstep while in London. 'I made a video and got some snacks, and all the comments were people from London being like 'we don't eat this',' she said. 'So I decided to do my research for all the other countries because I didn't want to offend anyone. I went on all the forums, and read Reddit posts. I think I nailed it for the rest.' Ms Tyres revealed why she kicked off the content series. 'I started creating food content when I was studying my Bachelor of Nutrition Science,' Ms Tyres told 'I realised a huge correlation between nutritionists on TikTok and the warped perception that you have to eat healthy wholefoods 100 per cent of the time.' She said she was consistently seeing 'What I Eat In A Day' videos where young women were 'severely underrating' or only showing meals that they thought would make them seem healthy. 'I wanted to approach my content in a different way. Although having a balanced diet is so important, I think, for young women in particular it's so important to know you can eat traditionally 'unhealthy' foods and still be considered healthy without that internal feeling of guilt,' she said. 'So since I got qualified at the start of this year, I've been really focusing on a balance of content from my own original recipes to trying different fast food brands. 'I never want food to control me or change my lifestyle.' She said she's always loved trying new foods, and considered it an essential part of travelling. She added that cooking was something she grew up doing, and always going to different restaurants and cafes. Ms Tyres wanted other young women to watch her videos and let go of the voice in their head that tells them what they should and shouldn't eat. As a result, she's had a lot of young women thank her for helping heal their relationship with food.

Crazy things stars of The Block do for publicity
When the tools dropped, so did the clothes, these Block stars stripped off, stirred controversy, and made headlines for all the wrong and right reasons. From a yacht-topless scandal that nearly derailed a season to Block judge Marty Fox baring his backside for his multimillion-dollar listing, nudity has become an unlikely recurring theme in The Block's off-site drama. Whether accidental, outrageous, or just tongue-in-cheek, these moments have kept fans talking long after the hammers stopped swinging. Naked Lambo Guy? Adrian Portelli's raunchy raffle shoot (Post-The Block 2023) He bought The Block 2023 winning house, then he stripped down to celebrate. Controversial billionaire Adrian Portelli, aka 'Lambo Guy', posed nude throughout Steph and Gian's Phillip Island home to promote a house raffle, and yes, they were in the photos with him. The Instagram shoot featured Portelli sprawled across a kitchen bench with nothing but a fruit bowl, snuggling in bed with Gian, and lounging in the sauna. In one shot, he jokingly steals a bottle of wine, a pointed reference to past allegations of stolen goods. The photos went viral for all the right, and weird, reasons, with fans calling it 'the most cooked Block content ever' and 'the best ad I've ever seen.' It was dubbed bold and bizarre. And it cemented the billionaire as The Block's most unforgettable buyer ever who then went onto buying the entire Block in the show's 2024 season. Marty Fox strips off to sell $13m pad (Pre-The Block 2025) If you've got it, flaunt it, especially when it comes with 1400sq m of privacy in Toorak. In May 2025, Block judge and Whitefox director Marty Fox literally bared all to promote his own home listing, posting a photo of himself completely nude, for a cheeky pose and a prime piece of Toorak landscaping. 'Not a single person can see you if you walk this property nude,' the caption read. His bum, a backyard and a $13m price tag. The post went viral, with celebs like Bec Judd offering spray tan advice and fans applauding the gutsy marketing. No rules were broken, just a few eyeballs scorched. But it proved once and for all when it comes to The Block and its stars, nothing's off limits … not even their backsides. Strip-drama: Suzi's topless yacht snaps spark Block meltdown (The Block 2015) She was the model-turned-renovator who made The Block's 11th season Nine dubbed 'unmissable'. But Suzi Taylor's Blocktagon stint turned full tabloid when topless photos of her partying on a boat in Melbourne with a back drop of the city's dud Melbourne Star Observational Wheel – clad only in a pink G-string and heels – hit the press mid-season. Leaked after a Crown Oaks Day afterparty, the snaps sent producers into crisis mode. Suzi blamed a 'so-called friend' for selling the pics, and Nine quietly scaled back her promotional duties. The drama didn't end there. Suzi caused waves on set for cheeky one-liners with tradesmen — including an infamous compliment about the 'size of a crane' — and reportedly asked foreman Keith Schleiger to 'squeeze her boobs.' Her antics strained her relationship with co-star Vonni, and a dramatic mid-season collapse added to the chaos. Suzi later apologised for the leak, but the damage was done. Her marriage ended shortly after filming, and the scandal remains one of The Block's most infamous, a topless storm that turned reno TV into tabloid gold. Jess's accidental Insta nude shocks fans (Post-show The Block 2023) Former 2018 Blockhead alumni and presenter Jess Eva gave fans an unexpected peek behind the curtain — and her dressing gown — when she accidentally uploaded a nude Instagram Story ahead of a TV segment. Jess, filming a 'get ready with me' clip, forgot about a mirror in the background. The result? A bare bum on full display, live to her followers. Realising the mishap, she edited the caption with a cheeky warning: 'I'm so sorry, I forgot there were mirrors in the dressing rooms that you could see! #bumcrackwarning!' Rather than backlash, fans lapped it up, flooding her comments with puns and praise for her honesty. No scandal here, just a relatable overshare that proved even Block royalty can get caught with their pants down.
